Should I Buy the Bio Ionic 10X Ultralight Speed Dryer?

We often ask ourselves a series of questions when trying to decide whether to buy a certain product or not. Is it the right one to buy? Will it be reliable? Can I get a cheaper model that’s just as good? All valid questions.

The first thing you will notice about this particular hair dryer is the price. It’s not cheap. True, it doesn’t cost a million dollars, but it is quite pricey for a humble hair dryer. Amazon is the cheapest place we’ve been able to find for this model, saving the shopper $80 on average compared to other retailers. But is it worth the higher price tag?

The Pros:

It’s lightweight and well-balanced

Uses 75% less energy to operate (saves money on power bills)

Powerful 1800 watt motor

Dries hair fast

Good for the environment – zero EMF, ozone or carbon emissions

Quiet operation compared to others

Gentle on fine, soft hair

The Cons:

The price

No accessories apart from the speed dry nozzle

Gets a little too hot at times

The real value in this dryer is the fact that it has such a robust motor. Cheap hair dryers (depending on how often they’re used) will often burn out in a year or two. The motor in this model is guaranteed to last 10 years at least. Now that’s a lot of hair drying. So, taking that one fact alone into consideration tends to validate the higher price tag.

Vital Statistics

1800w motor – powerful but lightweight

3 adjustable heat & speed settings + cool shot

Speed dry nozzle

Weighs less than 1lb

Eco friendly

Generous 9 foot power cord

57% more powerful than DC motor dryers

31% more powerful than AC motor dryers

Dries the thickest hair in under 10 minutes

10 year warranty on motor

Manufactured in Korea

Conclusion

There is a reason this hairdryer receives such glowing reviews and high ratings on sites such as Amazon: Because it truly is one of the best hairdryers on the market. It is built for speed drying and it lives up to its promises.

Ignore the price tag of this model. It’s worth every cent. The dryer will outlast most other makes and models on the market, and if for some reason it doesn’t, there is a massive 10 year warranty on the motor!

The bottom line: If you don’t want to be buying a new hairdryer every year, then buy the Bio Ionic 10X.

I’ve been growing my hair out for a few years now and I’m finally needing a blow drier going into the winter. The price tag on this one is a little scary but I’m learning with things like this, it’s better to spend the extra dough and get the better one. Especially if it’s something you’re going to be using all of the time and has a high potential to break among the cheaper models. The 10 year warranty is appealing too!

Keep in mind that if it does break you need to pay 35 dollars to replace. My heating element went after a year and a half. What kind of warranty is that! For the money you pay there should be no cost to you. At this point I am invested in it of course I will suck it up and pay for it!

Hi Stacy. Thanks for leaving a comment and pointing that out. How long after you purchased the dryer did the element fail? I know Bio Ionic offer 10 years warranty on the actual motor, but I think it’s only 1 year for the other parts.

Wow, that is an expensive hair dryer. But just maybe it is the economical one to buy since it has a 10-year guarantee. Do you know if anyone has had any difficulties with it or is it just awesome?
I know my wife would want one with accessory tools on it, so maybe this isn’t the one for her. Still, a very interesting post.

Hi Duncan. From all reports is a pretty good all round hairdryer, and the 10 year warranty is awesome. I don’t know if you really need all the accessories, do you? From what I’ve observed over the years, most people don’t use the accessories, or barely at all.
